1 Simplifying Rationals 5.0 Topic: Simplifying Rational Expressions Date: Objectives: SWBAT (Simplify Rational Expressions) Main Ideas: Assignment: Rational Expression is an expression that can be written as the quotient of two polynomials ( P ), as long as Q is not 0. Q Activate Finding the domain of a rational expression -If the denominator is 0 of a rational expressions it is said to be undefined..in other words, any value replaced in for the variable that obtains a denominator value of 0 must be excluded from domain h(x) = 2 + 3x 4 2 5x 7 + x 6x + x2 g(x) = 5x p(x) = 9 7x + 5 x 2x 2 + x 3 Simplifying Rational Expressions (Simply put Polynomial Fractions) is looking for Common Factors..Need great FACTORING SKILLS Simplifying Rational Expressions Simplify: 3y(y + 7) (y + 7)(y 2 9) *Just like in fractions, a rational expression is considered undefined when the denominator equals ZERO.so we must exclude all solutions that will created a ZERO in the denominator Original Denominator s Factors (y + 7)(y 2 9) How do we find the values for x that will create a ZERO in the denominator?

2 Simplify and Find the conditions/values that will make the expression undefined. 2x 2 6x 2x x x y y 16 Your Turn x(x + 5) (x + 5)(x 2 16) p 2 + 2p 3 p 2 2p 15 p 2 + 5p + 6 p 2 + 8p + 15 More Examples Simplify: a 4 b 2a 4 2a 3 a 3 b x 4 y 3x 4 3x 3 x 3 y Multiplying and Dividing Find the Product: Find the Quotient: = =

14 Can t Touch This! 5.4 Topic: Graphing Rational Functions Date: Objectives: SWBAT (Graph Rational Functions with vertical/horizontal/oblique asymptotes) Main Ideas: Rational Function Asymptotes Assignment: If a(x), a(x) and b(x) are polynomial functions with no common factors b(x) other than 1, and b(x) 0, then: f(x) has vertical asymptotes whenever b(x) = 0 f(x) has at most one horizontal asymptote If the degree of a(x) is greater than the degree of b(x), there is no horizontal asymptote If the degree of a(x) is less than the degree of b(x), then the horizontal asymptote is the line y = 0 (or x axis) If the degree of a(x) is equal to the degree of b(x), then the Examples: horizontal asymptote is the line y = LC of a(x) LC of b(x) A zero of a rational function a(x) occurs at every value of x for b(x) which a(x) = 0 x2 x + 1 One vertical at x = 1 No Horizontal g(x) = 3 x 2 1 Two vertical at x = ±1 Horizontal at y = 0 h(x) = 2x + 1 x 3 One vertical at x = 3 Horizontal at y = 2 Zero at x = 0 No Zeros {3 0} Zeros at x = 1 2 x3 Graph x + 1 x f(x) Graph

15 More Graphing x3 Graph 2x 1 x f(x) A boat traveled upstream at r 1 miles per hour. During the return trip to its original starting point, the boat traveled at r 2 miles per hour. The average speed for the entire trip R is given by the formula R = 2r 1r 2 r 1 +r 2 Draw the graph if r 2 = 15 miles per hour. Application? s a) Graph the function b) What is the R-intercept of the graph? c) What domain and range values are meaningful in the context of the problem? Oblique Asymptote If a(x), a(x) and b(x) are polynomial functions with no common factors b(x) other than 1, and b(x) 0, then f(x) has an oblique (or slant) asymptote if the degree of a(x) minus the degree of b(x) equals 1. The equation of the oblique asymptote is the quotient of a(x) with no remainder. b(x) Example: Vertical Asymptote: x = 1 Oblique Asymptote: x + 3 x4 + 3x 3 x 3 1

16 Can t Touch This! 5.4 x2 Graph x + 1 x f(x) Your Turn Graph x2 3x 10 x 4 x f(x) Point Discontinuation If a(x) b(x), b(x) 0, and x c is a factor of both a(x) and b(x), then there is a point of discontinuity at x = c. Example: Graph x2 4 x 2

17 Name: Rational s Intercepts 5.5 Class: Topic: Intercepts Date: Main Ideas: Review No Calculators Assignment: Which is not a ZERO of the function x 3 3x 2 10x Prove it algebraically a. -3 b. -2 c. 2 d. 4 These are EASY! y-intercept: Where does the graph cross the y-axis? Think about it..when you are on the y-axis, what is the value of x? Y-Intercept It is the same thing as finding f(0): x2 x 6 x 2 1 But always be aware of the RESTRICTIONS ON DOMAIN: x 3 x 2 3x 10 x + 7 x 2 81 Your Turn

18 x-intercepts: Where does the graph cross the x-axis? HEY, this is the same as finding the ZEROS! (You got it DUDE!) Set 0 and solve But, here s the cool thing: For those rational guys, you just need to set the numerator = 0 and solve! WHY? And HOW? Those are some good questions and I am glad you asked X-Intercepts Well, when a fraction is 0, the only way that can happen is if the numerator is 0; So, set the numerator = 0 and solve 0 7 = 0 x2 x 6 x 2 1 But always be aware of the RESTRICTIONS ON DOMAIN: x 3 x 2 3x 10 x + 7 x 2 81 Your Turn

19 Solving Rational Inequalities 5.6 Topic: Solving Rational Inequalities Date: Objectives: SWBAT (Solve Rational Inequalities) Main Ideas: Assignment: Solve. 2x x + 5 x2 x 10 x 2 + 8x + 15 = 3 x + 3 Solving Rational Inequalities Review Steps: Step #1) State the excluded value(s). These are the values that make any of the denominators ZERO. 1 3k + 2 9k < 2 3 Step #2) Solve the related equations. 1 3k + 2 9k = 2 3 Step #3) Use your solution(s) and excluded value(s) to divide a number line into intervals (mainly 3). Step #4) Test values in each interval to determine which intervals contain the values that satisfy the inequality. (Reminder: Don t forget excluded value(s))
